Cricket fans were livid with New Zealand stand-in skipper Tom Latham during the first ODI against India in Hyderabad on Wednesday over his appeal for double centurion Shubman Gill's hit-wicket, despite his gloves dislodging the bails from the stumps. Latham, who is leading the Black Caps in the ODI series in Kane Williamson's absence, was involved in a couple of contentious appeals during the Indian innings.In the 40th over, New Zealand appealed after all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who was batting at 28 at that point, missed Daryl Mitchell's off-cutter and the bails were dislodged from the stumps. Although Latham didn't seem quite confident with the appeal, they waited for the third umpire to check.There was a bit of confusion as to whether the bails came off Latham's gloves or whether the ball hit the stumps. After a few minutes of checking the video footage, Pandya was declared out by the TV umpire. The star all-rounder walked back in dismay.In the next over, New Zealand made an appeal for the possibility of a hit wicket against Shubman Gill. This time, however, Latham's gloves dismantling the bails were spotted by the third umpire.Many questioned the third umpire's decision on Pandya's dismissal. Some pointed out the poor umpiring standards in the game, while others expressed their discontent over Latham's approach in his appeals.Here are the Twitter reactions to Latham's conduct behind the wickets:CricketMAN2@ImTanujSinghThis is the second time in this innings for Tom Latham.27818This is the second time in this innings for Tom Latham. https://t.co/ZCRCWOCtk7Ben Gardner@Ben_WisdenA very, very odd umpiring decision in the Ind-NZ ODI.

Look at the gap on the right hand side.Clearly Tom Latham's gloves knocked the bails and Hardik Pandya was NOT OUT. Horrible umpiring.#INDvsNZ71Technology can only be a tool, but it cannot eradicate human errors.

The youngster has sent a strong message to selectors to cement his position in the opener's role.India suffered a mini-collapse in their batting order with the dismissals of skipper Rohit Sharma (34), Virat Kohli (8) and Ishan Kishan (5). Gill held his nerves in the middle and continued to torment the New Zealand bowlers with some great shots. He brought up his third ODI century in 87 balls and went on to score 208 off 149 deliveries. Gill also became the joint second-fastest player to complete 1,000 runs in ODI cricket, bringing up the milestone in 19 innings. He went past Virat Kohli's record of 24 innings to become the fastest Indian player to score 1,000 ODI runs.Shubman Gill equaled Pakistan's Imam-ul-Haq's tally of 19 innings to score his first 1,000 runs in ODI cricket. Only Fakhar Zaman, who needed just 18 innings to score his first 1,000 runs, has reached the landmark in fewer innings.
